Afternoon delight
Accidentally New Age just spent her lunch break listening to this delightful podcast about dark energy. It contains a lovely interview with the cosmologist who came up with the name “dark energy” as a way to explain that the concept it describes isn’t a “cosmological constant.”
It’s pretty much a 25-minute discussion about scientists’ discovery of (and lack of true comprehension about) the mystery of spanda. And so I loved it. And so should you.
P.S. The interview features several mentions of the Large Hadron Collider. Which leads to the obvious question: Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?
